I am thinking of a camera / projection system that would show the rear view on the inside of the door windows (like an HUD).


Sounds expensive to fix when it inevitably breaks.

Do you have a back up camera, and still look in your rear view mirror? There are angles that a camera just can't see, due to it being a fixed location.

I wish I could switch a camera on to double check either side when changing lanes.

Modern airliners still have side mirrors.

Besides, it won't make backing your boat down the ramp any easier if you can't do it already.

ETA: DC-9 has a pop up mirror on the glare shield to be able to see the whiskey compass which is located on the bulkhead behind the first officer's seat

The thing I'm most surprised about:

We take a shite in a bowl filled with water and then wipe ourselves with paper.
